I say train neither. Train concepts that help to put tools into play. For those JKDC people that is what "attributes" are all about. "Tools implemetation are a secondary result of proper attribute execution". Regards, Carlton H. Fung, D.D.S.

As many *can* be opened by *a flip of the wrist*.

Two who recently came out of lurking are Tom Krier and Krishna Godhania. Here's to hoping they and others will post more often.
